Waste management requirements for food establishments

All planning applications for restaurants, cafés and hot food takeaways should: • where possible, accommodate waste generated from the use of the premises on site. If within the curtilage of a building, bin stores should be adequately screened and be designed so as to respect the character of the area; • consider how customer waste both on and off the premises will be managed e.g. external litterbins; • propose suitable grease traps be installed on all drains for restaurants, cafés and hot food takeaways to prevent blockages and flooding of properties.
